EPLDT Cybersecurity Awareness Program wins Silver Anvil
THE ePLDT Cybersecurity Awareness Program (eCAP): Making Our Employees Cybersecurity Ambassadors was awarded the prestigious Silver Anvil under the Public Relations Program – Employee Engagement Category at the recent 59th Anvil Awards.
ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of PLDT, conducted internal cybersecurity information campaigns to empower its employees to be able to protect themselves and the organization from ever-evolving cybersecurity threats.
It launched eCAP, a mandatory eLearning initiative combining a training portal and simulation tests, to reinforce a cyber aware and cyber secure mindset amid escalating phishing threats worldwide.
To effectively reduce cybersecurity risks, eCAP made
sure vigilance is advocated from top management to middle managers, frontliners, shared services and operational teams.
The eCAP consisted of short impactful courses delivered through the ePLDT training portal accessible to all employees. To cite a few of the courses, “Five Common Email Security Threats,” “Profile of a Phisher: Social Engineering,” “Profile of a Phisher: Credential Phishing,” “Credential of a Phisher: Mobile Devices,” “Credential of a Phisher: Ransomware,” “Credential of a Phisher: URLs”, and “Choose Your Phish”.
“We were able to achieve a 100% completion per business unit within ePLDT, with all employees completing the eCAP’s learning course. Getting everyone on board is imperative to create a company culture of cybersecurity vigilance,” shared Ronald De Guzman, Vice-President and Head of Cloud Service Delivery and Operations. His Governance, Risk, and Compliance Team spearheaded the development and implementation of eCAP.
